AP Chemistry Agenda: Weekly Agendas-AP Chem.docx
Welcome to Chemistry 1 and AP Chemistry!
This is my 11th year at Helena High School and my 19th year teaching high school science. At HHS, I have taught Chemistry 1, Biology 1, and AP Chemistry. I have also taught at North Kitsap High School, Sultan High School, ExplorationWorks, and STARBASE.
When I’m not in the classroom, I enjoy all the outdoor activities Montana has to offer with my husband of 31 years. My two children, Jake and Katie, graduated from Helena High School in 2016 and 2017. I am a graduate of South Whidbey High School, the University of Washington (B.S. in Zoology), and Old Dominion University (M.S. in Secondary Education).
I am looking forward to a fantastic year!
